The easiest thing to move lvm partitions from one physical partition to |
| 15 |
another is as follows: |
| 16 |
1. pvcreate <new> (create lvm2 data on the partition) |
| 17 |
2. vgextend <vg> <new> (adds the new partition to the volume group) |
| 18 |
3. pvmove <old> (moves the extends to the new partitions) |
| 19 |
4. vgreduce <old> (removes the old partition from the volume group) |
| 20 |
5. pvremove <old> (wipes the lvm2 markings from the partition) |
| 21 |

Hopefully this was what you were looking to do. |
